And next summer's one after that. Love all the In The Know delivery nods and winks. Shame to miss out on them every 6 months.Looking forward to the Hendo thread in Jan
Rocky was on loan too last season
Celtic don't want to sell Henderson it's as simple as that...and certainly not to another Scottish club.
They rate him highly...just not highly enough for him to play in their high quality midfield just now.
I would imagine they would possibly have been open to a loan move, but I very much doubt Henderson himself would have wanted that, nor Hibs for that matter...he would not have been able to play against Celtic for a start. He's in a bad situation for his development as a player, but he will be on a very good wage at Celtic for a player of his age, however he will not be playing much football for them this season.
I like and rate Liam Henderson as a player and would love to see him back at Hibs sometime but to be perfectly honest I am more bothered by the fact that we have not recruited another striker which is for me more of a concern at the moment. Allowing Brian Graham to leave has left us light up front for places with only three recognised first team strikers, IMO every major club needs four strikers vying for places up front and to provide proper competition. With Oli Shaw now on crutches as well the need is even more profound and I am genuinely surprised we have not moved to bring another striker in.
Btw delighted that McGinn is staying. Hopefully an extension to his current contract will be signed which (similar to Cummings) will allow him to go next summer with Hibs recouping a large transfer fee and St Mirren also getting their cut.
I think we could have done with another forward but I'm confident Stokes, Murray & Matulevicius can provide us with enough fire power. Boyle can play upfront too, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Commons return who would provide goals from midfield. McGinn, Barker, Swanson & Slivka should all really be adding goals to the team as well.

Agree and disagree. I just don't think three strikers is enough and we should have brought in a replacement for Graham even someone on loan as cover. I don't think Martin Boyle is a striker in a million years...he an exciting, skilful, tenacious and pacy winger with an bit of an eye for goal and that is it. He doesn't know how to play the striker role properly IMO. If Stokes or Murray suffer any sort of long term injury we will be really struggling in that area IMO. I am also very sceptical about Commons returning to Hibs...in fact I have real doubts he will be able to play top level football again anywhere after major back surgery. I do agree with you wholeheartedly that McGinn, McGeogh, Boyle, Slivka & co are going to have to contribute their fare share of goals this season from midfield.
All in all we've had an outstanding transfer window. Would've loved Henderson back and wouldn't have minded another striker - but that's nit picking. We are in great shape... with the best squad I've seen us have in years.
That's where I'm at bud
The best bit of business this deadline day was telling forest to get tae!!! And keeping SJM which will do me

100% mate. A good season in this league will do him no harm at all. I love that we did our business early, rather than scurrying around late on, signing journeymen from the likes of Raith.....
It wouldn’t surprise me if this actually happens. Saves us paying a development fee to thellic tooDebut was a disaster for him, 4-0 defeat at home, booked and taken off in under an hour. Be at Hibs in the summer :coffee:
